Life...

Sometimes all Seems Lost,
Sometimes it all just goes well!
But Life, O seductress Fair,
What sweet, White lies you tell!

You run this world great,
Engineering a myriad of links.
You strengthen every grain in my armour,
And then, you pierce its chinks!

Great towers, many you raise,
Huge hills, off, your cities sweep!
And then your towers you burn,
And your cities you bury deep!






O balancer of Forces divine!
What an adroit juggler you are!
But beware! For I’ll take you head on,
And will pay you, scar for scar!
 

I shall walk in this tempest,
With my head held high!
Proudly will I bear thy thorns,
And, in my time, strong, I’ll die!

Do you hear me, brother afar?
Realize your dreams, till the end.
Life’ll force you along,
But never, under her, shall you bend!

The World is yours, for all you want,
But do not take it all in greed!
For life is nothing but a law,
For every Goliath, a David it’ll breed!

              Life is a guide, very deceptive
              From birth until death, all along!
              In this lonely ocean of delight
              It ’ll sing you a beautiful song!

 


Don’t stand mesmerized ! It ’s a trap!
For only You will row your boat!
Stay still for awhile there,
And a mermaid’ll bite your throat!

               Make this journey with care, little one!
               Respect the big and small too!
               For only then will you beat life
               Only Then will life respect You!
